This whole thread is very pedantic but in chemistry when someone refers to chlorine, they are usually referring to Cl2. I think in IUPAC naming chloride is reserved for for ions. Like dichloromethane (IUPAC) and methylene chloride (also common name).

I have a phd in chemistry. You are correct. The whole thread is pedantic garbage.

Sometimes I read highly pivoted comments with info that is plain wrong and think I'm taking crazy pills.
